Strings Of Little Happiness

Dari buku Traveling Pants 1, ada satu quote yg bagus. Gw lupa sih persisnya gimana, tp intinya bhw happiness itu sebenernya gak perlu sesuatu kebahagiaan yg luarrr biasaaa gitu. Happiness itu bisa didapat dg merangkai little happinesses in our life. Bisa berupa hal2 yg sgt sederhana. Spt misalnya lampu lalu lintas yg akhirnya hijau stl sekian lama meraaaah mulu. Temen yg tiba2 nraktir es krim coklat. Ya, hal2 kecil yg spt itu kali.

Ga tau kenapa, tiba2 kok gw jd inget ama quote itu. Mungkin krn justru gw tuh lagi gak happy kali ya. Yah, utamanya disebabkan oleh suasana kantor yg gak enak banget blkg-an ini. Trus ditambah kebencian gw ama traffic di jalan. Ama org2 yg gak punya etika berkendara gitu lho! Trus tambah lagi kebencian gw ama kebegoan org2 yg ngatur negara ini dan kota ini. Dan sama org2 yg jorok dan mentingin diri sendiri dan ga bisa ngerawat lingkungannya. Trus...trus...wahhh kalo diurutin bisa jadi kehepian gw tandas sampe ke dasar2nya kaliii...

Anyway. Barusan aja gw dpt ilham, gara2 keinget ama quote itu. Mungkin, dari pada gw terus2an berkeluhkesah ngrasani dunia yg kejam dan menyebalkan ini, lbh baik gw mulai berusaha utk menemukan little happinesses di tengah semua itu dan menghargainya. Lalu, bila gw udah bisa berhsl menghargai those little happinesses itu, kalo dikumpulin semua, pelan2 kan bisa getting bigger and bigger...maybe even bigger dari kebetean gw...

Seperti, kalo di kantor gw beteeeeeeeeee banget sama bos2 yg gila dan jahat itu dan ngasi pembagian kerjaan yg ngebingungin, politik2 mrk yg licik utk ngambil keuntungan sebesar2nya, ato kepanikan sebagian org2 yg berusaha cari selamat sendiri, ato kemunafikan org2 yg bermanis2 di depan ngomel di belakang, daripada suntuk terus mikirinnya, mendingan gw mencoba menghargai momen2 hepi yg gw alami di situ. Spt saat2 bergosip, ketiwi2, jalan2, makan enak, foto2, dll. What's happier than friendship toh?;)

Kalo gw bete ama kebloonan dan "kekejaman" org2 di lalu lintas, ada baiknya kl gw lbh mhargai kebaikan org yg surprisingly mau ngalah, apalagi kl org itu supir mikrolet or supir metro mini (mungkin ga sih ini?. Kalo gw suntuk ama org2 yg brengsek, jorok dan ga tau aturan, cobalah liat diantara mereka tetep ada yg punya senyuman tulus, yg membantu tanpa pamrih, yg mungkin emang krn didikan aja jd kebiasaan untuk jorok dan berantakan.

In the meantime, keep on praying and try to make everything going for the better. Try from little stuffs...and from the little stuffs if you string them all together it will become the big stuff...

Haaa. Cuz I still believe that life is a gift, not a punishment.

From Korea With Love

Here are Korean love lessons:
1. Watch out for young, handsome tapi ngeselin guys. He might be 'the one'.
2. After you find him, you'll get to know him. Eventhough you may hate him first, don't give up, because you'll be in love with him, even if you don't want to.
3. Get drunk, then throw up all over him. Believe it or not, it will make things smoother. He will cherish it as a sweet memory from you.
4. Somehow, you'll end up living together with this guy. Or, meeting him all the time. Get used to it, although it will be hell at first. Because from here you will see other side of him which can be so sweet.
5. He may only use you at first. He will drive you crazy by being jerks. But don't worry, be patient, eventually he will be the one who fall head over heels for you.
6. He has certainly already fallen in love with another girl, who, is surely prettier and smarter than you. You'll hate that girl because you know in the inside, she's full of crap. But your man can only see what's on the surface.
7. Still, don't worry. There will be a handsome, rich guy, who is actually 10 times better than your man (but stupid you just don't see it), who will always be your shoulder to cry on, and secretly falls in love with you. So you see, you'll always have a back up.
8. Make the rich guy hugs or kisses you. Because, your man will see it and then he will realize eventually that it is you he loves, not that sweetie cutie bitch.
9. Flirt the rich guy, hangs out with him all the time. It will drive your man crazy.
10. Don't worry anymore. Your man will confess his undying love for you, and beg your forgiveness for treating you like shit.
11. After that, you can dump the rich guy. Don't worry, because he is such a perfect gentleman, he will only smile understandingly. You and your man will live happily ever after. That sweetie cutie bitch can eat all her high heels.
12. Or, better still, you can keep both yummy men by not dumping any. Just flirt with them both forever. Now that sweetie cutie bitch can eat all her tote bags as well. Yippiduppiyeeeeyyy!

Puisi Cahaya Bulan

Satu lagi dari Gie......

---------------------------------------------------

akhirnya semua akan tiba pada suatu hari yg biasa
pada suatu ketika yg telah lama kita ketahui
apakah kau masih sambut dahulu memintaku minum susu
sambil membenarkan letak leher kemejaku

kabut tipis pun turun pelan-pelan di lembah kasih
lembah bandalawangi
kau dan aku tegak berdiri melihat hutan" yg menjadi suram
meresapi belaian angin yg menjadi dingin

apakah kau masih membelaiku semesra dahulu
ketika kudepak, kau dekaplah lebih mesra
lebih dekat

apakau kau masih akan berkata
kudengar dekap jantungmu
kita begitu berbeda dalam semua
kecuali dalam cinta

cahaya bulan menusukku dengan ribuan pertanyaan
yg takkan pernah aku tahu dimana jawaban itu
bagai letusan berapi bangunkan dari mimpi
sudah waktunya berdiri mencari jawaban kegelisahan hati
